The major news dropped: should anyone still doubt the matter, Blitz Royale is a basically permanent outfit now. At least, until the year 2027–an almost forever in gaming years. Having the quests for this much-loved mode extended for such a long time practically confirms its existence in the near future. The Internet certainly saw some heated discussions that cannot really be understated.
Well, now, let’s establish what that means: Blitz Royale is the quicker and crazier-paced variant of Fortnite’s classic Battle Royale with a storm that moves faster than anyone else, with loot raining from the skies in colossal amounts, and with total madness. The instant hit, and the makers made sure it is kept on rotation. The quest tied to Blitz Royale was meant to expire sooner, but they are now pushed all the way to 2027, which is just three years from now and really quite an eternity in Fortnite time.
Here comes the debate. Some players are rejoicing: finally, an officially permanent mode aside from Zero Build. Others? They are nowhere close to happy. The hindrance, though, is due to Crown wins. Sure, Blitz Royale does make it simpler to amass those shiny Victory Crowns, and there are some of those old-school stubborn grinders who are miffed about it. Tolya (@matszukoo) went as far as saying, “Now Crown wins are going to be useless cause it’s easy to get em through Blitz.” I agree. If everyone’s swimming in crowns, do they even mean anything anymore?
Then comes the murky waters of “Is it really permanent?” Because if you think about it, there is still an end date on 2027. Some players like Anandh KS (@anandh_ks_) called it out: “Quick basic lesson, if it has an end date it isn’t permanent.” And yeah, that’s true. But let’s be real—how many of us are still gonna be playing Fortnite in 2027? (Okay, probably a lot of us, but still.)
Those who are down for the Blitz being made permanent are vibing with the statement of CosmoJames (@CosmoJames) calling it “the best new game mode since no build mode,” and honestly? Mood. The fast-paced action is a breath of fresh air compared to the slower, more tactical gameplay of regular Battle Royale. And rumors going around that old Marvel mythics might be making a comeback (shout out to @vvLOKIvv for that hope) just makes everything more exciting.
But not everybody’s happy about the news. Some players such as JP (@concreteboyjp) think that it kind of takes away from the hype. Lemme tell you now, there is something to be said about the limited-time modes feeling special to us. We even lost our minds when Food Fight and 50v50 dropped. Now that Blitz has been made permanent… does it lose a bit of that magic?
Continuing on with the chaos in the replies are Dean (@Deank1564) begging for a fix to the Spire glitch in Lego Odyssey, followed by Rushil GR (@GrRushil) whining about an incorrect Battle Bus decal. Classic Fortnite Twitter.
At the end of the day, Blitz Royale staying is a big deal. Whether you love it or hate it, it’s changing the game, literally. Crowns might not mean what they used to, and the mode might lose some of its novelty, but for players who just want fast, fun matches: this is a win. And hey, if you’re still not convinced, just remember-2027 is a good long while. By then, we’ll probably be playing Fortnite in VR or something.
So grab your loot, dive into the storm, and enjoy Blitz while it’s still fresh! Or don’t. Either way, it’s not going anywhere. Probably.
